Synopsis

Combining poetry with the long essay Thirty Ways of Looking at the Sea , which charts her involvement with the Marine Conservation Society as resident poet as they launched an appeal to tackle the threats facing thirty marine species, Words the Turtle Taught Me sees Susan Richardson writing at the height of her powers as a poet, an ecological campaigner and as a writer about the process of composing inventive, compelling poems.

Scar

Phoca vitulina

Cliff at full-stretch.
Gorse grazing face.
Twitch of a frayed Grayling.

Watching a seal beach herself beyond
the sea's reach,
her skin's narrative punctuated
with scrapes and nicks comma, colon,
quote mark, asterisk
plus one hyper-extended hyphen,
emphatic underline, overlong minus sign.
